A federal judge in San Francisco has agreed with an Islamic charity that says it might have been the target of government wiretapping conducted without court approval, reports the Associated Press.

The now-defunct Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation, a group with headquarters in Saudi Arabia that maintained an American branch in Ashland, Ore., can now move forward with a lawsuit against the Bush administration’s Terrorist Surveillance Program, the news agency reports. The United States government considers the charity a terrorist organization.
